What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?
I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.
Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some information
Black/brown lentils in dhal makhani. Dirt cheap readymade packages at the grocery store too.
Other than that, I used to make spicy red lentil soup with the recipe on the back of the bag from Costco but made myself sick of it years ago.
